As millions of people receive their new Medicare cards, AARP is warning about a scam.

Here's how it works, scammers call pretending to be a Medicare representative, and ask for personal information.

They claim they need Social Security numbers and banking information to send you a new card.

Representatives of Medicare DO NOT call consumers.

If you get one of these calls, hang up immediately.
